you can start making money at it you
12
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,320
won't want to miss any of these tips
13
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,080
let's get into it tip number one is to
14
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:27,920
remove the sub based frequencies in
15
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,080
every instrument besides the kick and
16
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,000
bass even if you don't think there's any
17
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,480
sub bass frequencies in that instrument
18
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:37,040
low frequency dirt and mud hides in the
19
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,360
most unexpected places and it's exactly
20
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,600
these hidden artifacts that can disturb
21
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,920
and add mud to your sub bass for example
22
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,840
let's take this hi-hat you would never
23
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,760
think to low-cut a hi-hat because it's
24
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,600
such a high frequency instrument but if
25
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,960
we add an eq turn on the analyzer and
26
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,199
play this hi-hat
27
00:00:55,199 --> 00:00:57,440
there's a bunch of stuff here in the low
28
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,199
frequency range if you have too many
29
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:00,800
instruments adding that much low
30
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,719
frequency dirt to your mix you're going
31
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:05,199
to lose a lot of headroom and ultimately
32
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:06,960
your sub bass is going to start to sound
33
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:08,799
muddy so what i like to do is i like to
34
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:12,000
add an eq you can use any eq plug-in
35
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,439
that you like turn on a low-cut filter
36
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:18,320
and just cut out every low-frequency
37
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:21,600
artifact in between 40 and 80 hertz
38
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,119
because that's where your sub-bass is
39
00:01:23,119 --> 00:01:25,280
the strongest this type of filter will
40
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,119
not take away from the quality of this
41
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:29,920
hi-hat whatsoever but it'll clear up all
42
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,920
that dirt so that your sub base can
43
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,000
breathe
44
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,159
this next tip by far changed my life the
45
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:37,759
most and that is that you have to
46
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:39,600
understand that there is a lot more
47
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,479
people out there that like to sing or
48
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:45,119
make music than people out there who
49
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:46,960
actually know how to mix music this
50
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:49,040
means that there's a huge opportunity
51
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,280
and demand for freelance mixing
52
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,680
engineers to earn some serious side or
53
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,759
full-time income before my success on
54
00:01:55,759 --> 00:01:57,840
youtube and the success of my other
55
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,079
projects like my sound banks and course
56
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:02,880
platform i used to make around six to
57
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,520
ten thousand dollars a month just mixing
58
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,360
for people as a freelance mixing
59
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,800
engineer and it was this type of money
60
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,520
that allowed me to quit my bs job at an
61
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,000
auto body shop and actually focus on
62
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,319
music full time and trust me when i say
63
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:18,640
this when you can focus on music full
64
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:21,440
time that's when you really get good at
65
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,200
it and not only that but most artists
66
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,360
don't care if you don't have any major
67
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,440
credits like you've worked for kanye
68
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,560
west or katy perry or avicii
69
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,160
they just want to know if you know how
70
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,840
to mix a song and that's all the proof
71
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,519
that you need so you really have nothing
72
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:37,599
to lose i know i didn't have any major
73
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:39,280
credits when i started my mixing
74
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,239
business back in 2016 and it was because
75
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:43,760
i made the choice to step out of my
76
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,000
comfort zone and start mixing for people
77
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,840
even though i had no major credits or
78
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,680
anything that i was able to break free
79
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,319
of my old life and start to a music full
80
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:54,560
time with platforms like sound better
81
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,800
air gigs and fiverr.com selling your
82
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,200
skills as a musician has never been more
83
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,120
accessible so stop waiting around and
84
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,120
get out there and start hustling my next
85
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,040
tip is to use a reference plugin to
86
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,840
compare your mix to a professional mix i
87
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,920
like to use reference to by mastering
88
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:12,560
the mix there's just no closer way to
89
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,800
reference a professional mix to use a
90
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,640
reference plugin grab a professional
91
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:19,200
song that's dynamically similar to your
92
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,120
song i'm going to use cheat codes sex
93
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,519
and drag it in to my reference plugin
94
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:27,840
this song is similar to the song i have
95
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,910
here
96
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:36,290
my reference song sounds like this
97
00:03:36,290 --> 00:03:39,680
[Music]
98
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,840
now here's the magic of a reference
99
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,159
plugin it automatically gain matches
100
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:46,640
your song with the reference song so
101
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,599
when we play back our song and we switch
102
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:51,599
back and forth to the reference song
103
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:53,840
they play back at the same volume so i
104
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,120
can clearly hear now discrepancies in my
105
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:03,100
mix versus the reference mix
106
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:06,319
[Music]
107
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:08,239
and just from switching back and forth
108
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:10,640
right there i could hear clearly hear
109
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,599
a couple discrepancies in my mix my base
110
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:16,479
to lead ratio is off so my base is too
111
00:04:16,479 --> 00:04:19,440
loud and then also my hi-hat
112
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,800
is dismal compared to the hi-hat in this
113
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,520
reference track so first let's bring up
114
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,020
the lead
115
00:04:28,020 --> 00:04:45,590
[Music]
116
00:04:45,590 --> 00:04:48,240
[Applause]
117
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,840
now that the lead's sounding pretty good
118
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:52,000
i'm gonna bring out my hi-hat listen to
119
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,800
my hi-hat compared to the hi-hat in the
120
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,670
reference song
121
00:04:57,670 --> 00:04:59,000
[Music]
122
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,230
[Applause]
123
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,400
to make it even more clear i'm just
124
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,880
going to solo out the high frequencies
125
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,440
of the reference mix so we can compare
126
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,080
that to the high frequencies of my mix
127
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:22,629
[Music]
128
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:24,400
that reference mix is so much more
129
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,960
percussive so i'm gonna go back into my
130
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,160
mix now
131
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,160
and i'm gonna turn up this hi-hat and
132
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:39,909
possibly even enhance it
133
00:05:39,919 --> 00:05:43,280
let's also boost the hiss on this hi-hat
134
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:45,740
just a little bit
135
00:05:45,740 --> 00:05:49,070
[Music]
136
00:05:49,070 --> 00:05:52,490
[Applause]
137
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:58,720
[Music]
138
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,520
let's unsolo this high band now and
139
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:06,140
listen to our mix
140
00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:13,029
[Music]
141
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:15,919
now we could clearly hear that my mix is
142
00:06:15,919 --> 00:06:18,960
pretty similar to that reference mix and
143
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,960
that's why i like a good old reference
144
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,600
plug-in tip number three is to eq your
145
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,160
reverbs reverbs are the widest full
146
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,319
spectrum sound that you'll ever add to
147
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:30,880
your mix in other words reverb is just a
148
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,680
big sound that takes up a lot of room
149
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,600
and can add a lot of mud to your mix
150
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,520
without you even realizing it it's so
151
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,440
easy to add a reverb plug-in to an
152
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,199
instrument and just move on and forget
153
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:43,600
about it but you have to eq the reverb
154
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,199
back when i started mixing i used to
155
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:47,199
just add reverbs to every instrument and
156
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:49,680
forget about them and i could not figure
157
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,680
out why i couldn't get my songs loud and
158
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,759
the simple answer was there was too much
159
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:55,759
reverb just going everywhere and taking
160
00:06:55,759 --> 00:06:57,840
up too much headroom watch this if we
161
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:00,080
take this font clap
162
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,400
sounds like this and we take just the
163
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,199
reverb from it
164
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:06,960
and we look at the reverb under an
165
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,039
imager and an eq
166
00:07:09,039 --> 00:07:11,120
we can see that the reverb emitted from
167
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,120
this clap
168
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,080
is so wide that it's all over the stereo
169
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,919
image and that's fine that's what reverb
170
00:07:17,919 --> 00:07:20,800
does is it adds width to sounds but also
171
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,639
look at the frequencies that are emitted
172
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:25,280
from this reverb
173
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,319
it has frequencies all over the eq
174
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:31,759
spectrum that is a big sound we have to
175
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:33,919
tame this or else it's going to build up
176
00:07:33,919 --> 00:07:36,160
and ruin your mix every reverb plugin
177
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,639
has an eq module on this plugin this
178
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:40,240
vintage valhalla verb it's my favorite
179
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,319
reverb plugin what i like to do
180
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:44,479
is low cut filter
181
00:07:44,479 --> 00:07:48,080
the low frequencies out of the reverb
182
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,919
this isn't going to ruin the quality of
183
00:07:49,919 --> 00:07:51,520
the reverb it's just going to allow the
184
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,680
reverb to fit in the mix and i like to
185
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,479
do it up to 500 hertz also i'll cut out
186
00:07:56,479 --> 00:07:59,199
some of the hiss from the reverb
187
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:02,240
by pulling the hi-cut eq filter down a
188
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,360
bit
189
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,440
and i adjust that to my liking as well
190
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,919
but rarely will i have reverb that's
191
00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:09,520
wide open that's just going to take up
192
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,440
too much room so if we give ourselves a
193
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,639
good reverb mix on this snare
194
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:16,560
it still sounds like reverb but now that
195
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,560
reverb will fit in the mix for this next
196
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,360
tip try balancing your mix in mono the
197
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,720
problem with balancing your mix in
198
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,639
stereo is that there is a lot of what i
199
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:27,840
like to call fake loudness in wide
200
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,800
sounds in other words wide sounds sound
201
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,880
louder than they actually are and that
202
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,279
alone can skew your ability to properly
203
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:37,200
balance mix here's a melody that we're
204
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:45,190
gonna play back in mono
205
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,040
sounds nice but if i turn this mono
206
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,750
switch off and we play it back in stereo
207
00:08:49,750 --> 00:08:55,760
[Music]
208
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,720
it sounds so much bigger and more lush
209
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,360
but it's not actually louder it just
210
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,200
seems that way but now what i do to
211
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,839
eliminate the illusion of wide loud
212
00:09:05,839 --> 00:09:08,640
sounds is i will go to the master fader
213
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:09,920
of my song
214
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,160
i'll grab a plugin that allows me to put
215
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,800
the song in mono and logic we just go to
216
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,760
imaging and then direction mixer spread
217
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,600
it down to mono
218
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:26,070
and now my entire mix
219
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,480
is in mono and now i can go through and
220
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,040
adjust each instrument
221
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,680
accordingly yeah and that alone was like
222
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:36,320
a life changer especially with drums
223
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,000
that helps a lot with drums for this
224
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,200
next tip
225
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,519
don't mix your song the same day you
226
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:44,320
made it your brain and your ears need a
227
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,040
break after the mental strain of writing
228
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,360
music after endless hours of writing
229
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,279
songs in front of your computer your
230
00:09:51,279 --> 00:09:53,440
eyes hurt your ears are strained and
231
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,760
your brain is fried you have to give
232
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,519
yourself a break because it's this type
233
00:09:57,519 --> 00:09:59,680
of exhaustion that will not allow you to
234
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:02,160
hear the dynamics and frequencies of
235
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,240
your song correctly so you're really not
236
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,240
going to be an effective mixing engineer
237
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,160
so next time you write a song i know
238
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,920
you'll be excited to get that song
239
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,680
finished and get it out as fast as
240
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:14,399
possible but just give yourself a break
241
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:17,200
go to sleep wake up the next day and set
242
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,519
up a dedicated mixing session and i
243
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:21,839
guarantee the results of your mix will
244
00:10:21,839 --> 00:10:24,240
be 10 times more lethal than what they
245
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,760
would have been if you did it a day
246
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,600
earlier on the same day you wrote the
247
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,839
song this next tip is to combine any
248
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:32,079
layered instrument before starting your
249
00:10:32,079 --> 00:10:34,000
mixing session mixing is a game of
250
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,560
organization the cleaner your doll is on
251
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:38,880
your eyes the more effectively and
252
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,560
efficiently you'll be able to move
253
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:42,720
through your mixing process for example
254
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,560
let's take this drum beat i'm going to
255
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:46,480
show you how i would set this bead up
256
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,399
for a mixing session this beat sounds
257
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:52,870
like this
258
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,959
if we take a close look at this we can
259
00:10:54,959 --> 00:10:57,600
see that we have three hi-hat layers
260
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,760
that are doing the same thing
261
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,079
this is an easy three layers that i can
262
00:11:04,079 --> 00:11:08,160
narrow down into one single layer
263
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,839
so now what i could do is i could take
264
00:11:09,839 --> 00:11:12,320
these three redundant layers get rid of
265
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,120
them
266
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,720
and we just took three layers and
267
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,399
narrowed it down to one if we look
268
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:18,720
closer into this mix we can see that our
269
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,750
clap has a layer on it as well
270
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,480
layers are totally fine you just don't
271
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,880
need to keep all your layers in there
272
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,959
and not consolidated so what i'm going
273
00:11:30,959 --> 00:11:33,760
to do is take these claps
274
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,399
right click them bounce
275
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:38,959
in place
276
00:11:38,959 --> 00:11:40,959
and now we have one stem
277
00:11:40,959 --> 00:11:43,040
instead of two
278
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,120
so that was just two instruments that we
279
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,760
were able to take five whole layers and
280
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,399
narrow them down into two but imagine
281
00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:52,800
doing this for an entire song and
282
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,200
narrowing down all of your layers into
283
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,920
as few layers as possible your project
284
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,440
will end up looking so clean and
285
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,279
minimalistic that you're going to breeze
286
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:03,440
through that mixing process and mix like
287
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,240
a star this next tip is fire and i make
288
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,480
my most dedicated students do this and
289
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,720
they always love the outcome of it and
290
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,440
that is to mix one of your songs and
291
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,000
then hire a professional mixing engineer
292
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,079
to mix that same song and this will tell
293
00:12:18,079 --> 00:12:20,320
you where your mixing skills are lacking
294
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,880
and exactly where you need to improve on
295
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,279
websites like sound better fiverr or air
296
00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:27,600
gigs for this example we will use sound
297
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,160
better you can go to soundbetter.com
298
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,480
click on this mixing engineers tab and
299
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,839
just find a plethora of professional mix

00:12:44,959 --> 00:12:46,880
through some nice analog gear so you'll
305
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,720
get to hear what that sounds like we got
306
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,440
some duty mix for ludacris here at bruno
307
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,519

00:12:53,519 --> 00:12:56,320
dimitri vegas and like mike over here
309
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,480
you get the idea hit up a freelancing
310
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,639
website hire a professional engineer to

mix your song there's really no better
312
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,880
way to do it for this next tip if you
313
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,720
really want to develop the skill of
314
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,880
mixing you have to get yourself a pair
315
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,440
of studio monitor headphones or pair of
316
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,200
studio monitors consumer grade
317
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,920
headphones like apple earbuds or dr dre
318
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,760
beats are great headphones for listening
319
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,839
to music on but they are not studio
320
00:13:19,839 --> 00:13:22,160
grade problem with these headphones and
321
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,959
any other consumer grade stereo system
322
00:13:24,959 --> 00:13:28,000
is that they do not deliver a flat true
323
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
sound these stereo systems add
324
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,160
processing to music when you listen to
325
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,800
it so that that music sounds good out of
326
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,959
that stereo system the problem with that
327
00:13:36,959 --> 00:13:38,800
is that you're not actually hearing what
328
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,199
that song sounded like when it left the
329
00:13:41,199 --> 00:13:43,760
production studio studio monitors like
330
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,839
my audio technica ath m50xs are the same
331
00:13:47,839 --> 00:13:50,720
price as most consumer-grade headphones
332
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,279
but they are studio grade and deliver a
333
00:13:53,279 --> 00:13:55,760
flat true sound that is completely
334
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,000
unprocessed so i'm able to hear exactly
335
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,760
what's coming out of my doll and it just
336
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,000
makes the whole mixing experience easier
337
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,480
my favorite studio monitors are and have
338
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,880
always been the yamaha hs8s and i
339
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,199
simultaneously switch between them and
340
00:14:09,199 --> 00:14:12,399
my audio technica ath m50x studio
341
00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:14,000
monitor headphones and i couldn't be
342
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,920
happier with this setup here's my final
343
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:16,959
tip
344
00:14:16,959 --> 00:14:19,680
mix for other people it's the best way
345
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,000
to develop your mixing skill mixing is
346
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,560
very logical so it's much easier to
347
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,800
approach and practice mixing when you're
348
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,120
doing it on a song that's not yours am i
349
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,519
saying don't mix your own music no you
350
00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:33,760
can certainly mix your own music but the
351
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,600
problem with mixing your own music is
352
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,760
that you have too much emotions wrapped
353
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,839
up in the song so you're not going to be
354
00:14:39,839 --> 00:14:42,079
the best decision maker when it comes to
355
00:14:42,079 --> 00:14:44,320
mixing that song and too many emotions
356
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,440
make any logical process more difficult
357
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,920
also i find that when i mix my own songs
358
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,720
i worry about pointless little details
359
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,120
that nobody else is going to ever hear
360
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,519
or worry about and that alone can stifle
361
00:14:57,519 --> 00:14:59,920
the overall result of your mix when you
362
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:02,240
mix other people's songs you don't hear
363
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,800
those little details so you can focus on
364
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,279
the mix as a whole which is how a mix
365
00:15:07,279 --> 00:15:08,880
should be thought of and that is as a
366
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,800
whole that's the end of the video guys i
367
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,800
